## Abstract Altered excitatory amino acid (EAA) neurotransmission, mediated primarily by glutamate, is a major cause of the imbalance of excitation and inhibition which characterizes both early development and epileptogenesis. Glutamate's actions are mediated by three classes of receptors: NMDA, no

The conformational requirements for activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and quisqualate (QUIS) excitatory amino acid receptors on rat spinal neurones in vitro have been examined using a number of conformationally restricted compounds related to L-glutamate (L-GLU). The excitants were assigned

Properties of excitation induced by various excitatory amino acids were studied in thin slices of the guinea pig hippocampus in the presence of Mn2+, tetrodotoxin and tetraethylammonium chloride. Depolarizations induced by L-glutamate (Glu), quisqualate (Quis) and D-homocysteate (DH) were accompanie
